Agreed. That's what I meant by the *may* part. There is a Python binding* that
will return the correct value, but I was writing a solution without using them
The proper Services API endpoint would be: hostname:6544/Myth/GetHostName .

Where the hostname ^^^ above refers to the one you'd use when typing
something like ssh hostname, and not the one used my MythTV as a profile
name.
